As I keep saying, we need to make @bsky.app the biggest social media platform on the planet, we need to do it with urgency & we need to send Elon Musk packing

But we need to seriously consider this:
Do we really think a social media platform with a powerful liberal focus against this Trump administration will survive in its current form whilst being hosted within the US?
We need a European platform for that.
The technical implementation of a European platform is easy.
What we need is public and political awareness of the need and benefits.
Unfortunately, that's only likely to occur when this place is put under Tik Tok style pressure in the US.
But it's worth debating before then.
It will happen over time and it can't happen soon enough.
It needs to become a major discussion point within Europe for a variety of strategic, long term reasons.
More profound changes and safeguards need to be put in place to prevent disinformation, particularly in an age of AI, and extreme wealth interfering in elections.

Consider Mastodon, in parallel if not as an alternative.
Bluesky needs to be different as it’s the only place of sanity left anywhere on the internet. If the price of that is to keep it small - so be it!
@mcuban.bsky.social pressure to make Bluesky bigger than Twitter makes me doubt his intentions.
Set up a volunteer model or subscription model.
Invite donations from Mackenzie Scott, Melinda Gates & sure @mcuban.bsky.social can contribute too if he really cares to preserve this platform
@peterstefanovic.bsky.social & @mcuban.bsky.social SHOULD KNOW THIS!

The consequences are lack of accountability and the ability for hostile, malicious and parasitic actors to subvert democracy and the rule of law.
And to do non-party-political activism ... 'surely #climateaction is not partisan' (she asked, naively)!
Also her for fun and pictures of birds and endangered species.... x
